Ingredients
1lbfresh sashimi-grade ahi steakchilled and cut into 1-inch cubes*
In a bowl, combine the cubed ahi, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, Maui (or yellow) onion, green onions, gochugaru, and toasted macadamia nuts and gently toss with your hands or a spoon. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Serve over rice and enjoy immediately.
Tips for Success:
Feel free to substitute the gochugaru with Aleppo pepper or finely crushed red pepper flakes.
If you don't wish to purchase Hawaiian alea salt for this recipe, substitute with a coarse sea salt, such as Pink Himalayan. Please keep in mind that differnet kinds of salts have various densities - I advise starting with a small portion (if you're substituting) and always seasoning to taste.
